(ANSA-AP) - CHISINAU, 11 GIU - Five European nations have
joined NATO in appealing for "calm and restraint" in Moldova,
where a court installed an interim president who immediately
dissolved parliament and rival governments are fighting for
control.
France, Germany, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom
declared support Monday for the Moldovan Parliament, which was
elected in February and disbanded a day after lawmakers elected
Maia Sandu of the pro-European Union ACUM alliance as prime
minister of a new coalition government. Russia also backed the
governing coalition formed by ACUM and the Socialists, but the
Democratic Party-led government refuses to recognize it.
Moldova's Constitutional Court disrupted the transfer of
power by suspending President Igor Dodon, the Socialists former
leader, and appointing outgoing Prime Minister Pavel Filip to
replace him.
The president has the authority to dissolve parliament and to
call a snap election. (ANSA-AP).
